Tasty Steaks for QC Cheapskates: Great Steak Restaurants Below P300

If you’re in the mood for some good grilling without breaking the bank!

What’s the beef?

2019 is said to be the year of thank you, next and the only beef anyone should crave for is one that doesn’t involve drama. Medium rare, perhaps? It’s easy to dismiss steak to be a dish only the wealthy can enjoy on regular days, but, alas, fancy food doesn’t always have to cost a fortune. Thankfully, Manila has become home to havens where expensive food is made affordable. Unlike its cooking option, reasonably-priced steakhouses in the metro aren’t rare.

If you’re in the mood for some good grilling, the following dining joints can make you steak to your cravings without breaking the bank:

Gudo

A leader in serving thick grilled cuts of good beef, Gudo lives up to its name as they’re out to satisfy not just your cravings on steak, but your chicken and pasta appetite as well. With noodle favorites all below P200 and a variety of thin crust pizzas that are mostly in the 100-peso range, this by-the-road restaurant proves to be the perfect place for barkada gatherings and family celebrations. At P205, guests can also choose whether to pair their flavorsome T-bone steak with white steamed rice or mashed potato. If you’re determined to feast on an extensive selection of carbs and a meaty main to top it all off, let Gudo be the place for you.

Steak Fix

One of the newer restaurants on the list, Steak Fix differs from its contemporaries in that it lets customers create their own steak platters. A regular meal consists of a T-bone steak and a side of your choice, although the portions and number of sides can be customized according to your liking. Diners can partner their meat with pesto or alfredo pasta, a slice of pizza Margherita, mushroom cheese scramble, mashed potato with corn, or rice. One of their best sellers is the bacon mushroom T-bone melt – grilled to your preference and topped with a fusion of pork bits and soft shrooms; it’s understandable why people flock to this newbie and load up on protein. Prices start at P199.
 

Rambo's Steak and Destroy

An incredibly strong challenger in the world of chunky beef, Steak and Destroy is here to conquer. Popular mostly to Iskos and Iskas, this hole-in-the-wall found in UP Diliman’s Area 2 triumphs significantly in taste and price. For only P155, diners are blessed to experience their T-bone steak served with a sunny side up, garlic kangkong (or water spinach if you’re feeling fancy), a cup of white rice, and gravy. Other crowd favorites include their pan-grilled chicken, sausage, and omelets. If you’re around the area, dismissing this promising eatery would be a crime.

Made just the way you like it, Griddle steaks are rich in flavor and thrive in tenderness. Available with the side of your choice and the sauce that you desire, the prices begin at P199.
